Domestic workers or carers who work illegally can set up the employer

Now it is possible for the carers and domestic helpers who work illegally to frame their employer by hiding a tape recorder or a small spy camera in their pocket, a sentence of the Cassation has established. Be careful, however, not to violate the privacy of the employer, and in order not to incur the violation the conditions must be two: the first is that the domestic worker is present at the time of registration, and the second is that the images must not end scenes of private life.

Revolutionary sentence of the Cassation, domestic helpers happy

For domestic helpers and carers the time has come for the rescue, the Supreme Court has given them the possibility of using recording devices even if they are not authorized, they are not grounds for violation of privacy films that concern the furniture, silverware, and even the inside of the wardrobes, even if there were underwear. Consequently the video test is valid during a work process.

On the other hand, the Cassation has always qualified as a crime when the landlord used hidden cameras to spy on the domestic worker or the caregiver; this is a violation of the rules of the workers' statute that prohibit remote monitoring of employees.

In the past, the Court of Cassation has explained that the owner of the property, far from home, cannot leave a camera or a recorder to spy and film cohabitants or guests, even if occasional; his absence generates the conviction and the certainty of being neither seen nor heard, granting them the margin of privacy that cannot be violated.
